Today was a busy, fun day. We went to the oldest township in Cape Town, Langa. We visited a community center that is teaching young artists and sponsoring local art work. I met a few of the artists and made a purchase for my mom for Mother's Day:-) I had mixed feelings about the township visit. On one hand, I was fascinated by the history and on the other hand I saddened by the poverty. Since this is the oldest township, there are actually a range of different socioeconomic statuses that people live in. We were able to see all of them. We also talked with some of residents and visited their homes. It's amazing how people can be hopeful even when they have so little. I spent the afternoon with my friend and colleague Berte. I wanted to see an historically Black campus, and he took me to Western Cape University. It was a great tour and fun meeting some of his friends. Afterwards, we drove through several colored neighborhoods. I ended the day with dinner at Karibu, a South African cuisine restaurant. I had the King Clip which is the local fish along with my favorite, malva pudding!
